Community Power Compass is a tool for thinking about particular communities by considering different power dynamics, informed by Graeber & Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity... Rather than just deciding that all communities of a type are the same, maybe tools like this can give people a better nuanced approach when thinking about whether to join new communities, leave ones they are part of, or just observe them from the outside. What makes communities very different underneath, even if they appear very similar on the surface? And how might having a more nuanced way of describing these differences help people and organisations join, find or create better communities?

The structure of the workshop will include a short presentation with background information on the development of the tool, an interactive Miro-board-style segment for the participants to interface with the tool, and a group discussion for pattern-finding, sense-making, and closing.
